Cherub, chimera (v1.0 knot, TqB, Rowens)

[Lizzie]

Hi, busker. I came here hoping for lyricism and was not disappointed. You've made excellent use of the critique you've received so far, and I approve of all the changes. I know you've been chewing your fingers down to nubs waiting for my thoughts on the matter. 

Cherub, chimera -- I like the title. You're correct that it's acoustically pleasing. It's also interesting that the ch is pronounced differently in each word which I felt highlighted the contrast between the words. I mean, I clicked on it out of a pile of poems, so it piques the curiosity if nothing else. 

Cherub, chimera,
whatever you were -
angelic thing
or dragon breathing
upon me, a mortal - -- I like 'a mortal' here because of the symmetry with immortal at the end. It gives continuity to the piece without drawing too much attention to itself. 
I remember the wings. -- At first, I didn't pick up on the subtle difference between this phrasing and the last line, but it does give the sense of slowly being drawn into a narrative, like a dream being gradually recalled. And then, at the end, the memory is full and the character directly addressed. It's delicate and beautiful. 

The black sepulchre -- Sepulchre is perfect. It pairs well with the Dante reference in the end (the overall Gestalt of it).
of non-being is eternal,
but your sight’s a spring -- Spring/winter contrast is lovely. Winter's moon is gorgeous. 
of light in the darkness,

a winter’s moon. You bring 
a parade of faces -- I don't dislike 'parade,' but I'm confused by it. Perhaps I'm making an American assumption that parades are happy, summer events. Maybe the connotation here is more religious in nature? Not a hair-on-fire issue, just throwing it out there that the tone is slightly off for me.
from familiar places -- And, yes, the faces/places rhyme does stand out. It's not unpleasant to the ear, but it does announce itself. Maybe it's because of how close together they occur compared to others. 
and days on the brink -- I like how 'brink' could relate to 'sepulchre'
of being forgotten,
Dante’s immortal - -- So, I don't understand the specific Dante reference, but his work is "public domain" enough that I roughly get the picture. And, I'm happy to take this missed connection as the natural consequences of being a Philistine in this regard. Dante's work is standard-issue poetry cannon, and there's no reason you shouldn't be able to reference to your heart's content on my account. 
I remember your wings. -- Lovely ending, fully immersed again in the dream (it feels like a dream, so I'm just assuming). 

All possible meanings are not evident on the face of it, but it's nowhere close to being non-sensical. I'm entirely unbothered by the possible ambiguities, and, in fact, I think that the reader is drawn in because there's so much scope for the imagination. You could certainly add more images or detail as you wish; there's room, but no urgency. 

Thanks for the lovely read,

Lizzie
